                      TRIBUTE TO JAMES T. WINSTEAD

                                 ______


                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to James T. 
Winstead, a man devoted to helping others. For more than three decades 
he has played a prominent role in dozens of organizations in the San 
Fernando Valley. The north San Fernando Valley is a better place 
because of the contributions of James Winstead.
  I cannot imagine how Jim found the time to get involved with so many 
causes. For example, he has held leadership positions with the 
Optimists, Elks, Knights of Columbus, San Fernando Chamber of Commerce, 
San Fernando Valley Trade Association, and the North Valley YMCA. In 
addition he has served as director and president of the North & East 
Associated Chambers, the Greater Van Nuys Area Chamber of Commerce, and 
Golden Triangle Association. On top of everything else, in 1982, Jim 
was named honorary sheriff of Mission Hills.
  Most recently, Jim received the Nelle Reagan Award for Distinguished 
Community Service Presentation from Olive View--UCLA Medical Center in 
Sylmar, yet another recognition of his strong sense of community.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting James T. Winstead, who 
has spent his entire adult life working on behalf of others. He is a 
shining example for us all.
